Breezy and Stormy's First Journey in Goatswood !

Breezy entered the tower drawing room  the very next day at daybreak.

Some how this room always seemed to sooth her .

She smiled and thought .. Alright lets set out, see what today ..holds.

Her Hope .. To  unfold a wee bit more to this Village of Goatswood to her .. 

 It felt so good and quite right to be riding Stormy in Goatswood .

Odd on that really. For she had received him three years ago for Christmas from her Aunt.

Her Aunt had now sent her to this place and  here they were exploring together .. 

Well she felt always felt better with Stormy ! 

 She gave him a pet on his neck . "Good Boy" she stated . as they Trotted off . 

What is this Place boy ?   Breezy whispered to Stormy .

The horse seemed to bow and then Draw back .

It was the pile of stones ..

The sky drew dark .. What is It  Stormy ??

It was like the Horse knew . No it was not like ..

Stormy knew !!  Indeed there was great darkness here at this place .

Soon there were heading to The Manor House .

Breezy did not care for the place but knew there were many answers there .

Also she knew to watch herself there as well .. 

The sky seemed to get brighter as she approached the Manor House .

Almost like a tease  to think things were fine .. alright ..

For there was nothing fine or alright about this place ...ever !!  

Breezy took a moment to gather her thoughts by the stove in The Manor House .

A young servant girl came to her .. M'am can i help you please ?  she said . 

No no dear forgive me I just wanted to sit and gather my thoughts but a moment .

Yes M'am the girl said and curtsied and let her be .

She noticed marks on the girl and began wonder even more .. 

This place is beyond dark, she thought to herself .. This Place is Black .

Far Blacker then the soot and ashes from  this stove .

Soon Breezy had collected her thoughts (and some notes) and was back on Stormy

and they were on their way ..  She turn over her shoulder as she heard the laughter and music coming from inside the Manor House .

she shaked her head to herself . 

Stormy paused by a Raven .. Sully .. hello there ! You found us !

Caw Caw Caw was the wise Raven's reply .. Stormy let out a happy Neh ..

the bird seemed to be directing us to The Church.  

How odd .. 

 WoW  was Breezy's first reaction . Stunning Chapel indeed ..

But there was more to this place as well . But somehow she felt again a comfort here . 

But she knew it would take several visits to see it all . 

 Breezy took note to the Book .. It was of story that...was the likes of

No Sermon in a Chapel she had ever know ..

But some how she knew the story ..

How could this be ?? 

 Breezy climbed down from the first of a few ladders .

She seemed to have lost track of time .

But she did seem .. gosh .. where did the time go ???

Some how Breezy had the feeling she some how had been Enlightened to more information .

So very much to study and learn . But she found herself craving to learn even more !!! 

So much to take in ..

Breezy was starting to comprehend that the village had not even bugun

to show it's self to her .. For indeed she was going have to get stronger .

Be stronger and research more ..

What on earth was her Great Aunt thinking 

sending her to this Place ???? 

**Please note video music is only used because .. The sound tracks are amazing :)

Time to get Stormy ..

While doing both some well needed research and reading 

.At the Manor House Library. Breezy decided she would return and dress a bit differently

for the part of her own journey and exploring . 

Indeed this Village was the likes of nothing she had ever experienced !

First Breezy sat down at the Abbot House Library to read a bit more and check her findings 

"in the card catalog for more info .. So much here in this "Quaint Village"

ah she noted to self .. Quaint on the outside perhaps but there really was nothing Quaint 

about Goatswood at all !!! 

Breezy gabbed the train to go Meet her trusted Black Stallion  Stormy .

Breezy had such a love for horses but this one, was a most special steed ! 

He was gifted to her by her great Aunt,and had saved her on more then a few occasions . 

She would stop at the bank as well and send a few wires . For it appeared she was going to be

staying in Goastswood through the Holidays . Oh My !! 

Breezy waits to meet up with Stormy . 

Breezy never dressed like anyone else .. She was a strong character .

Her morals and values were bright . But her hand was kind . 

Ah much better .. First things First was getting Stormy some new shoes 

Breezy had noticed a fine Blacksmith in Goatswood .

She had hoped to perhaps get some new information as well .. 

Stay tuned for Breezy and Stormy's first Journey !! 

Goatswood Civic Event: The Romantics Art Show!

This upcoming December 8th, 2012, the Order of Enlightenment will host the Romantics Art Show, with a plethora of events, including classic art, dancing, and beverages for all!

Breezy's First Night At The Manor House ..

 Breezy entered The Manor House .. she found herself with a bit of a chill.

For as spectacular and beautiful as it was, it all seemed quite dark to her.

 Crawley Manor much story telling to be told here .

But some how Breezy knew she would not be staying At the Beautiful Crawley Manor long .

Still it had a purpose for and to her, this first evening of her arrival . 

Ah  The Crawley Manor Dining Room  in all it's decadent Glory ! 

Breezy decided to retire early, to her, it had been a long day of travel.

She arrived to a lovely room, watched as the servant girl placed her suit cases down, "Anymore luggage My Lady the girl asked? " Breezy steamers were on another train, she smiled at the young girl and said" No that will be it for now . Please Fetch me some hot tea with a wee bite ."
 The servant girl curtsied and replied "Yes My Lady"

 and whisked away to fetch a tray.

Breezy unpinned and removed her Hat and gloves and placed them on the dressing table.

She then poured some fresh water and splashed her face.

She slowly undressed and changed into her Night gown and Put on her Dressing robe .

She let down her hair a bit .. and sighed for a moment as

She looked around and saw a rather interesting desk. She walked over 

 and to her surprise, noticed a brown wrapped package with her name on an envelope
 with a yellow long stemmed rose (always her favorite) on the desk.

She unwrapped the package and found several numbered letters and 

a wrapped journal that all, was Mysteriously left for her .

She calmly unwrapped the journal and .. saw a beautiful  brown leather  engraved with gold ledger .

She gasped to herself at the surprise of all this, and did not even notice.

 the servant girl place the tray with tea pot cup and bite for her ..

She reached for the first Letter and opened the door and went out to the Balcony to read .
Under a most clear sky,full with stars  and the bright full moon light.

 My Dear Breezy,

"If you are reading child, I am gone from this world .

 I am so sorry I had to leave you, But you know my love for you .

I shall never your heart nor your soul .

 I am so sorry you have had so much Love Lost in your young life .

I believe this Village of Goatswood is the best place for you and that big passionate heart of yours .

Our family has history here and a safe place for you .

It is my hope that the stories and village itself shall wrap it's arms around you
 and you shall be happy and  safe,

from the  cruel ways of all man kind. You are a special bright one child . You have the gift .

This Gift I speak of must be practiced and mastered and used only for good . 

Thy shall not practice black magic ever dear Breezy . 

Always remember this and the beams of the light you possess.

shall protect you . The way I have protected you and your father before I . "

 Breezy took a deep breath as she looked out over, the river Wyvern.

her trusted pet raven, that she had never questioned to be so, landed on her shoulder.

She had no clue how she knew the name of the river. She had a feeling there would be many new

things she would just come to know now .She continued to read .

"Breezy you have always been a most passionate gifted girl. You have always been one with nature and keen to learn and question all. There is a reason for this child, for you have been

 anointed with the gift of *Eternal Light*.

A most special gift that has been our family for centuries.

But Breezy I caution you again you have much to learn child. Now more then ever,

 You must stay calm and be wise to all things around you. For it is alright to seek answers in this place and explore your own powers.
But it all must be done most delicately and in secret at all times child . 

You must never speak of such things, In time you will know your place in  The Secret Society.

Yes child there are others and you will find them In Goatswood."

The Letter went on .. But it can not be shared at this moment in time 

For it contains many whispers ..  secrets .. 

 After much reading and pondering of the first of several letters,

and the first chapter of her Aunt's Journal,

Breezy decided to send her trusted Raven with letter to fetch Master Rafael.

For indeed, the desire and the time would arrive soon enough, for him to join her in Goatswood .

She softly told Sully The Raven. "now now just a half day's flight 

you can do this Sully" .. " Soft calm caw caw caw with nod was the Bird's reply"

and off he flew .. Breezy went inside to her room, checked the fire and blew out the candles

She smiled when she noticed the yellow rose was in water by her bed side of her now lovely turned down bed as she removed her robe, climed into bed and went to sleep, she was exhausted .

 Breezy slept but awoke early .. She knew it was time to venture out .

She was now even more enlightened ,aware and truly on a  mission . She  would walk to town .

Have her luggage follow her once she secured another location. 

Breezy grabbed the yellow rose and tucked it in the new beautiful journal

just before she left the room and Manor House.

Breezy shall close this entry with the Poem her dear Aunt closed with to her .

To see a world in a grain of sand,
and a heaven in a wild flower.
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
and eternity in an hour.

Author. William Blake (Auguries of Innocence).

Breezy's Journey To Goatswood

Indeed this was to be quite a Most Unique and Life Altering adventure .. Breezy thought to herself .

With her Own Great Aunt's Passing .. She had read the letter and set out to follow the list of instructions

 her Aunt had left for her. 

She Bought and picked up her Train ticket to Goatswood as her Aunt's direction .

She was full of questions as to why her Aunt had written,

"Goatswood,this place would answer many questions and spark many a new .

Gentle Bright paths my Dear for

You have a wonderful life ahead of you my darling Breey."

She sighed and boarded the Train . not knowing where she was really at all ..

Questions were plenty . Goatswood she thought to herself . 

 Humm she thought to herself .. quaint enough .. But why on Earth had her Aunt  sent her here ?? 

 Goatswood .. an endearing , quite beautiful Little Village . At first glace as so she thought ..

 But there was something .. Something  very different .. about this place . 

Breezy arrived at the Manor House .. there was a chill in the air all of  sudden .

My My this place is Dark she thought to her self ..  

Initial review at the Steampunk Tribune!

As a starter to the blog, I've highlighted the sim on my "main" blog, at http://www.steampunktribune.com/.  Mostly as a "leader" to raise awareness about the sim, but with a bit of luck, Breezy and I will be able to get a bit more visitors to at least pay a visit to Goatswood.  Please stay tuned - more to come!

Transitional Post...

If you've arrived here, you're at the new web locale for the Order of Enlightenment, a dedicated group for Goatswood.  We are still in transition, but expect to have this location, and its details completed by the weekend - see you again soon!
